👉 Heterozygotic is a scientific term that refers to the genetic makeup of an individual. It describes individuals who have two copies of a particular gene, one from each parent, and are therefore genetically identical in every cell they produce. This means that both parents of an individual carry the same copy of a particular gene, but their offspring will not inherit it from them. The term is often used to describe individuals with two different alleles for a particular trait or disease.
